When it comes to remembering the Hawthorn dynasty that powered to three premierships in as many years, Josh Gibson may not be one of the first names recalled. Luke Hodge, Sam Mitchell, Lance Franklin, before he decamped for the Swans, Jarryd Roughead and Jordan Lewis would generally find themselves at the top of the list.

Collingwood have named son-of-a-gun Callum Brown to play Port Adelaide on Sunday for his third game of AFL football, while fellow father-son pick Josh Daicos will yet again be an emergency for the Magpies.

Sam Mitchell says most footballers that go deep into a career care about game numbers 200, and 300, and not necessarily about the ones in between. His close friend Jarryd Roughead on Sunday is passing 250 AFL games, like a train passing a mile marker on its way to a grand view.
